Is It Worth spending money modifying a VTIR?

[xenonkuraz]

haha yeah. When a 33 rolls up beside me, revving hard, 10+ bar, I'm like:

"how the fork do you compare my N/A vt@k to your t04z under there?"

but it's still exhilarating to show them you'll try

I'm like, " It's my hot body I do what I want!" (aka South Park)

you should do the same

dw about the nissan fags, im starting to convert all my mates into buying honda (1 being nissan fanboy) so far my tally is 3. hey my mates can kick the shit out of my EK1 civic, like i care anyway. im at uni, i got 2 jobs and i need my cash $$ once i get a full time job, a $3-$5k engine swap will mean peanuts to me, rather than now which would engulf most my savings and leave me as one poor 19 uni student! and im not including the sorta money they throw at finance major post graduates which is like $80k-$120k per year not including bonus's, and thats like starting salary (assuming i can get my honours ;D).
with that kinda money i can probably get an NSX! for me im more in the long haul. tbh i wouldnt buy an NSX, id rather spend about $20k on buying a EK (my fav body shape) that needs some panel work, do it ALL myself, spray myself, engine swap myself (something insane like a boosted k24) and strip that car clean. exactly the same way that guy with the gold EG k20 did here. thats my aspirations.

i honestly forgot the point of my post, im too self involved but i think i was trying 2 say we all got different goals and just focus on your own project

My new goal is to beat a Type R now. LOL

[xenonkuraz]

Type-R: track tuned
Vti-R: street tuneable

Not to say that one can't be the other. But that's how I see it basically.

^^^ X2 Same, lol.

ive got a vtir and ive probably spend 4-5k on it already, actually this is my second vtir that ive owned. and iam pumping 110kw atw on a low reading dyno

but if ur planing to get recaros/itr cluster 5stud etc. u might as well save up and get a type r

no you arent.

You are only pumping out 109.9kw atw on a low reading dyno. Dont tell fibs.

[CB7_OWNER]

Imma Noob, but this is my two cents

If your goner mod your dc2 like you say you are, then you might as well save the money and get a dc2r, cause the parts your goner swap into your dc2 will most likely be dc2r parts if you really want to keep it all JDM. And do you want your Vti R to be original or just another one of those dc2r replicas?

damn u mattt.

if ur gonna replace ur parts with jdm parts, why dont u just get a real jdm vtir? comes with all the goodies like folding mirrors, no side moudlings, climate control etc. and it maybe the same price

[DUST]

Its not gonna be a lookalike type R or a JDM Teg, its still gonna be a AUD VTIR. Its gonna have modified parts only made from japan.

Although i already broke that rule by having K&N CAI and replacing my hoses for either SAMCO or Zenracing ones, was gonna get SPOON hoses but i can't justify the cost in that. I guess APEXI aint japanese anymore, but they originated from Japan lol

Folding mirrors I wish I had those. People always seem to 'accidently' bump into mine at car parks. What they don't know beforehand is that I'm still sitting there

"oi mofo!"

"soz"

"evin eyes"

" i didn't do anything wrong..."

They also make one phat supercharger kit from CAPA for these cars as well
